Best Rib Eye Steak With Caponata Recipes

SEARED STEAK WITH CELERY & PEPPER CAPONATA

Steps:

• For the caponata, spray a large, wide non-stick pan with 3 sprays of oil, and add the onion and garlic. Cover and cook for 5 mins, stirring halfway through to brown them.
• Tip in the tomatoes and a can of water, then stir in all the other caponata ingredients. Cover the pan and leave to simmer for 30 mins.
• Heat a griddle or small non-stick frying pan. Generously grind black pepper over the steak and sear on both sides, about 6 mins in total, until cooked to your liking. Allow to rest while you wilt the spinach in a covered pan on a low heat.
• Spoon the caponata onto 2 serving plates, top with the spinach, then slice the beef and arrange on top.

GRILLED RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH MOUTH-ON-FIRE SALSA

Steps:

• Make the salsa: Prepare a grill for high heat. In a small heavy skillet, combine the olive oil and chiles de arbol and cook over medium heat, about 4 minutes, or until the chiles are toasted and beginning to blacken. Remove the chiles and set aside. Allow the chile oil to cool slightly.
• On a large baking sheet, toss the tomatillos, tomatoes, jalapenos and scallions with the chile oil and season with salt. Lightly oil the grill grates with vegetable oil, place the vegetables on the grill and close the lid. Cook the vegetables, turning only once, until they are blackened as much as possible; don't stress out if the tomatoes and tomatillos break open and begin to fall apart-it's a sign that they're cooked through. Aim for these cooking times: 8 minutes per side for the tomatoes and tomatillos, about 6 minutes per side for the jalapenos and about 3 minutes per side for the scallions. Using tongs, transfer the vegetables to the baking sheet and let cool slightly. Meanwhile, let the steaks stand at room temperature, 30 minutes.
• Trim the stems from the jalapenos and remove the seeds, if desired. Do not remove the charred skins. In a blender, combine the blackened vegetables, the garlic, cilantro, lemon juice and the toasted chiles de arbol and blend until smooth. Season the salsa to taste with salt. (You will have about 5 cups salsa; it will keep for up to 5 days, stored airtight in the refrigerator.)
• Make the steaks: Reduce the grill heat to medium high. For a gas grill, spread the drained wood chips in the smoker box and close it; alternatively, spread the wood chips in the foil pan. Place the smoke box or foil pan on a lit burner. For a charcoal grill, sprinkle the drained wood chips over the hot coals.
• Coat the steaks with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. When you see the wood chips beginning to smoke, set the steaks on the grill grate and grill them 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the meat feels only slightly resilient when pressed with a fingertip, for medium rare. Transfer the steaks to a carving board and let rest, uncovered, about 5 minutes. Serve the steaks with the salsa.

RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH THYME-SHALLOT BUTTER, PAPRIKA POTATOES AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
• Use a fork to mash the butter with the shallot, thyme, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl. Transfer it to the center of a small sheet of plastic wrap and roll it into a 1-inch-diameter log; twist the ends closed and chill in the freezer to harden until ready to use, at least 15 to 20 minutes.
• Combine the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the oil in a bowl. Toss with the paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer, cut side down, around the edges of the sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes, rotating the pan front to back after 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the asparagus with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
• After the potatoes have roasted 20 minutes, add the asparagus to the center of the sheet pan. Roast for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Transfer the potatoes and asparagus to a serving platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Position an oven rack 4 to 5 inches below the heat source and preheat the broiler.
• Season the steaks with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and place them on the sheet pan. Broil, turning them once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into the thickest part of the steak registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes, then serve topped with a slice of the butter and a side of potatoes and asparagus.

RIB-EYE STEAK AND POTATOES FOR TWO

Steps:

• Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with sliced garlic and rosemary and set aside to marinate, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile, bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until just done, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
• Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over high heat. Remove and discard sliced garlic from steak. (If left on, it will burn in the skillet.)
• When pan is hot, put in the steak and let brown well on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Wait until steak forms a crust and comes away cleanly from the bottom to move it.
• Flip steak and transfer pan to oven, uncovered. Roast until juices begin to rise on surface of steak (you will see the droplets) and internal temperature is 120 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove steak from pan and let rest, tented with foil, for 5 to 10 minutes. (Residual heat will continue to cook the meat to medium-rare as it rests.) Warm a serving bowl for the potatoes and plates for the steak.
• Melt butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and toss to coat and heat through. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 minute or less. Gently stir in parsley and lemon zest and transfer to serving bowl.
• Cutting on a slight diagonal, slice steak into 1/2-inch slices, then transfer to plates. If using, place a handful of greens next to the steak. Serve immediately, passing potatoes at the table.

RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH PORCINI RUB

Steps:

• For the steaks: Process the mushrooms in a spice grinder until they form a powder; place it in a jar. Process the salt and peppercorns in the same grinder and add it to the mushroom powder. Process the sugar in the grinder and add it to the mushroom mix. Process the garlic and red pepper flakes in the grinder, add it to the mix and shake it all up.
• Place the mixture on a sheet pan and coat all sides of the steaks with the rub.
• Lightly coat a grill pan with olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Place the steaks on the hot pan and cook for 7 minutes on each side. Allow the steaks to rest on a platter while you make the salad.
• For the salad: Put the arugula in a bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Slice the steaks crosswise.
• Place the salad on a platter and arrange the sliced steak on top. Sprinkle Oven-Dried Cherry Tomatoes over the steak and drizzle with balsamic vinegar before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the tomatoes in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper and pepper flakes, if using. Toss well and place on a sheet pan in a single layer. Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 3 hours, tossing occasionally.

MARINATED RIB-EYES

Steps:

• Season the steaks with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and set aside.
• Pour the Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar into a large resealable plastic bag, seal, and shake to mix. Pour half of the marinade into another large resealable bag. Place two steaks in each bag, and turn to coat. Squeeze out excess air, and seal the bags. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat grill for high heat. Drain the marinade from the steaks into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil; boil for several minutes.
• Brush grill grate with oil. Grill steaks 7 minutes per side, to desired doneness. Baste often with the boiled marinade during the final 5 minutes of cook time.
